I have realized that this is the llama blog and I've barely mentioned llamas at all so I'm about to rectify that...

LLAMAS

So this is just a little about llamas, you know where they're most commonly found stuff like that.

Llamas are relatives of alpacas and camels and are commonly found in the Andes,

they mainly eat grass and chew on it much like cows. They are quite usually used as pack animals like camels to carry things up the Andes. You can also find them in zoos and such. personally I think they are the best animals ever. Another thing they weigh 280 t9 405 lbs if you couldn't tell that's a lot. Last thing, their fur/hair is so soft! Sorry that wasn't the last thing they're hypo-allergenic which means for people with allergies they won't make them sneeze. here are a few pictures:

That's a little about llamas just some of what I know about llamas just a little. 

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close question and answer

So for those of you who are unaware I am reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close which is a book about a genius 9 year old boy(Oscar) whose dad jumped out of the world trade center during 911, Oscar finds a mysterious key from his dad, the part where I'm currently reading is mainly revolving around him trying to figure out what lock does the key go with. I have decided to answer the question:
Do you find the illustrations, scribblings, oven-written texts, etc. a meaningful, integral part of the work or do you find them distracting and gimmicky? Why are they there? Does it help build the mystery?

And here's my answer...
I find that the scribblings etc. are a meaningful part of the story, to some people they might just be strange and pointless but I feel that though they might be odd, it will all come together in the end. I also find them interesting to ponder and think about because you can think about what they might be for and where they tie into the story. Another thing about the second part of the question if it helps build the mystery and I think it does because like I mentioned above, you wonder where they tie into the story. To many/some they would be distracting and kind of cliche and I can understand why but when you think they just amalgamate the story and add up to the end, without them the story wouldn't make that much sense and wouldn't be as fun to read. They are there, I think, to make you wonder, wonder and think about the characters about the plot about the story in general and why the author put them there.

 

Meaningful Image

An image of a war, it's meaningful but it also makes you think. You start to wonder which war is it but then when you really start thinking you realize, does it really matter? It's a war people die and it really doesn't matter which side they're on because though one side's right and one isn't they still have people who care about them, then you start to think about well why did this happen. It's because some people doesn't matter who had a disagreement and generally they're not the ones risking their lives to prove that they're right. But in a way it does matter which war it is and in another  it doesn't, it matters to certain people because maybe it was WW2 the biggest war, maybe  it matters to certain people because they knew or know someone who was in it but then maybe it doesn't matter because it's still a war.




This is my second image...

a llama!!!!! Actually this isn't my meaningful image that's above^^^ but i thought my rant/talk about wars was a little depressing so what better to cheer people up than a llama, plus this is called The Llama Blog.

The Best Way To Share A Coke

 I thought this video was pretty cool it reminds me of a Rube Goldberg machine. For those of you who don't know, Rube Goldberg was an American inventor, engineer and cartoonist who was famous for his crazy machines. However, this was done by Coke but if you've seen a Rube Goldberg machine you'll see the similarities.

Technology...Good or Bad?

So technology, many people wonder if it's affecting everyone in a positive or negative way, I think both.

Technology keeps us connected with people who we otherwise would never know with things like Skype and Twitter, we now can communicate with people all over the world but seemingly we don't just talk anymore we text and tweet and email but we almost never talk. It's different for some people but the majority will find themselves on their phone or computer most of the time. But that doesn't mean we should all just never use technology ever again, technology has helped us learn new things and make discoveries, without technology many things would never have happened or been invented, things like trips to the moon or finding new cures for diseases we would never have found out about without technology. So there is no real answer for if it's good or bad, many people will say it's one or the other but it's not, it's just plainly both.
